MSI CROWDS THE RAMP @ CEBIT

We already knew the GX600 would walk the ramp at CeBIT this year, but when they did, quite a lot of new siblings made the trek to Germany as well -- including the GX400. Moving on, we have got the 15.4-inch GX620 and 17-inch GX720, and while the former seems to arrive in a wood, leather or carbon fiber finish, the GX720 reportedly arrives with a black lacquer coat and a built-in subwoofer to carry the bang effect.

The GT-730 Gaming Notebook was also mentioned, but all we know is that it gets its graphics prowess from some sort of ATI Mobility Radeon. The AMD-powered EX610 (15.4-inches) also turned heads with its integrated Blu-ray disc player and high definition HDMI output, while the elder brother17-inch EX700 sported the same specs along with a GeForce 8400M GPU. Indeed its quiet a lot of stuff.
